Why Is No One Talking About How Good Maya Rudolph’s Style Is?

Maya Rudolph’s Style Streak Is InspiringGetty Images

While Hollywood and social media inevitably make us turn to the famous singers, actors, and It girls and guys of the moment for fashion inspiration, this year has reminded us great style knows no bounds—just look at Ella Emhoff’s DNC style streak, Malia Obama’s plaid fit at the Deauville American Film Festival, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles’s NYFW runway debut, Cate Blanchett’s film festival red-carpet style revival, Amal Clooney’s luxurious date-night style, or Maya Rudolph’s unbelievably fun red-carpet wardrobe.

In an unexpected turn of events this year, Rudolph’s style has become one of my ultimate sources of inspiration. The comedic actor has been booked and busy with TV projects, and during appearances at premieres, parties, and awards shows for those projects, she’s delivered a string of bold straight-off-the-runway ensembles styled by Rebecca Grice. The Bridesmaids star’s clear love of fashion has also taken her to Fashion Week shows across the globe, where her diverse maximalist looks have continued to prove she is a dedicated and fearless fashion chameleon who isn’t afraid to have some fun.

Ahead, all of Rudolph’s best looks this year.
